A social network for sex and hardcore chat

And then when I started interviewing girls, all they wanted to talk about was social media—what was happening on social media, their relationship to it, and what it means in their lives. I wish I could have interviewed girls all over the country, but you have to pick somewhere. In the piece three distinct elements emerge that impact how some young people experience sexuality.

And actually I don’t think it matters as much anymore where you talk to kids because with social media, there is no set physical place from where culture emerges anymore. One is social media, obviously; another is pornography; and the last is bullying. Social media is not the same in 2013 as it was in 2003—or even 2008 or 2011.

Readers noted that the particular situations related in the piece result not from I was talking with my editor about some of the things that have been going on in the world of girls—in the news we’ve seen a rash of campus rapes, suicides from cyber-bullying, kids filming themselves doing horrible things to each other and putting it online.

There’s no space or time limit on when you can chat with someone or discuss sex with someone, if you want to—and that’s something very new for kids.

For me this piece isn’t about being shocked that teenagers are having sex or are interested in sex.

Nancy Jo Sales’s September 30th piece, “Friends Without Benefits,” generated enormous response from readers both on and through several social-media channels that also appear in her article.
